Kenyan court to rule on disputed bid to change constitution

Description

Kenya's Court of Appeal will deliver its verdict Friday on the president's controversial three-year quest to change the constitution, a ruling that could shake up the political landscape less than a year before elections. The so-called Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) seeks notably to dilute the current winner-takes-all electoral system blamed by Kenyatta for poll unrest, by expanding the executive and parliament.
